How it works
- 1Drop your image in — a vertical photo or a designed pin graphic.
- 2It is scaled and center-cropped to 1000 × 1500, the 2:3 ratio Pinterest recommends.
- 3Keep any text in the upper half: pins are browsed in a dense grid where the top of the image is what stops the scroll.
Frequently asked questions
- Why 2:3 rather than something taller?
- Because Pinterest truncates pins that exceed a certain ratio in the feed, showing only the top portion with an expand control. A 2:3 pin displays in full, which is why it is the recommended shape — a much taller graphic can look complete in your editor and appear cut off in the grid.
- How much text should a pin carry?
- Enough to explain the click, placed in the upper half. Pins compete in a dense masonry grid where each one occupies a narrow column, so a short headline in large type reads and a paragraph does not. The top of the image is what gets seen before someone scrolls past.
- Does image quality affect how a pin performs?
- Indirectly but noticeably. Pins are browsed visually with very little text context, so a soft or badly cropped image is skipped without a thought. Uploading at 1000 × 1500 means Pinterest is not doing the downscaling for you, and the pin renders as you designed it.
- Can I reuse an Instagram post as a pin?
- You can, but a square post cropped to 2:3 loses a third of its height or gets padded. Pins built vertically from the start use the space the grid gives them; a square image simply occupies less of a viewer's screen, which is the whole competitive advantage of the format.
About this tool
Pinterest is browsed as a dense vertical grid, and the 2:3 ratio exists because of how that grid renders. Pins taller than roughly this shape are truncated in the feed and shown with an expand control, so a graphic that looks complete in your editor can appear cut off where it counts. A 1000 × 1500 pin displays in full and occupies a generous share of the column it lands in.
Because the format is visual and the context is thin, the top of the pin does most of the work. Whatever stops the scroll — a headline in large type, a strong central image — belongs in the upper half, where it is seen before a viewer moves on. Long text fails here for the same reason it fails on a thumbnail: the pin occupies a narrow column on a phone, and small type is unreadable in it.
Reusing a square post rarely works well. Cropped to 2:3 it loses a third of its height; padded to fit, it wastes the vertical space that makes the format effective in the first place. This tool scales your image to fill the 1000 × 1500 frame, crops evenly from the centre so nothing is distorted, and compresses the result — all in your browser, with nothing uploaded.
